(10) And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon.Kings, And the fleet also of Huram which carried gold from Ophir. The phrase is altered here to correspond with 2Ch. 8:18.

Brought algum trees.See 2Ch. 2:8. LXX., ; Vulg., ligna thyina; Syriac, acacia (?) wood (eshkor); Kings, brought from Ophir almug trees in great abundance. In the Mishna almg is coral; and the Rabbis ascribe a red colour to the algum wood. The Pterocarpus Santalinus has blood-red wood with black streaks, is fragrant, and is used in works of art, as well as for burning. The tree called Valgu or Valgum is the Santalum album, which produces white and yellow sandalwood. Thenius doubts whether the algum wood of Solomon was not the teak (Cytharexylon Tectona), which abounds in East India, and is a hard, yellow-streaked, strongly-scented wood, used in India for temple building.
